"Backcombing" can add fullness to a h

irstyle and give fine, limp hair gr

ater body (If you have curly h

ir, you will already have more h

ight and volume. You want to be s

re not to damage the cuticle l

yer on that type of hair so f

rst straighten the hair and lay d

wn the cuticle. Make sure it is c

ol if you have just finished fl

t ironing or blowdrying.)

Let me first say th

t when you backcomb the hair, you are p

eling back the cuticle. This can l

ave it vulnerable to damage over t

me so backcombing isn't something you w

nt to do every day. Save it for sp

cial occasions.

Here are the basic steps to b

ckcomb:

1. Spray the hair with an

erosol hairspray first (I prefer Sukesha Max H

ld hairspray) and let it dry.

2. Us

ng a tail comb, part off a s

ction of hair from the rest of the str

nds. Smaller sections will be tighter and l

nger lasting backcombing. Clip the rest of y

ur hair out of the way.

3. H

ld the hair straight up or

ver directed in your left hand w

th your comb in your right (pr

viding you are right handed.)The object is to c

mb the hair down the opposite fr

m how it grows. So, with y

ur right hand, comb from the

nds of your hair down to the sc

lp? in strokes. Repeat this until all the h

ir looks teased. You can feel the b

ckcombed hair to see if it is s

fficient (it will feel thicker if you h

ve used smaller sections.) Spray the t

ased section with an aerosol hairspray and go on to the n

xt section.

4. If you want a m

re solid and long lasting style, h

ld the new section forward so th

t when you backcomb you are

ctually grabbing a bit from the l

st backcombed section. This will make it m

re solid and also prevent "holes" in y

ur heightened style.

5. When all hair is b

ckcombed, take a paddle brush and sm

oth the hair down. Take care to not br

sh too hard since you only w

nt to smooth the very top l

yer.

Most professional hair product lines lines h

ve either a shine serum or spr

yshine (I prefer the spray-shine on b

ckcombed hair.) Finish your style with one of th

se to smooth any stray hairs. Use sp

ringly!
